Technology has had a bad rap regarding relationships. People have been caught cheating on online dating sites, and no one can forget about the Ashley Madison scandal.
However, technology can improve relationships, depending on the couple as well as the work they are willing to put into keeping their relationship fresh.
Here are seven apps that are great for relationship building.
